THE GOD EATER

Then the mind hunter said, “And even if the dragon doesn’t have a home, it might lead us to other dragons. Who knows, this dragon might be a remnant of the ancient dragons? How great would it be if we found a group of dragons?”

But the warriors refused to back down. One of them snorted and said, “So what if there are plenty of dragons to go around, and what if there is a big world large enough to share? We still aren’t going to share it.”

Then the warrior stared at Forced Exchange and said provocatively, “We will keep everything for us. What are you going to do about?”

Forced Exchange didn’t hesitate to reply, saying, “I will beat you in such a humiliating way that you will lose all your reputation and be unable to become a divine being ever again.”

This was the worst thing to say to a warrior, so all four of them took offense at what Forced Exchange said. In retaliation, they said that Forced Exchange was a beast pretending to be a human. This kick-started another round of arguments between both sides.

The death cultivator grew tired of their argument and said, “Should I stop cursing the dragon now? Since it has replenished its lifespan, it is unlikely that I can wear it down now.”

But both the warriors and Forced Exchange shook their heads and said, “Don’t stop yet. Keep the pressure on it. Let’s see how long it will last. We will pay you for the loss of your lifespan.”

Both sides could argue with each other, but when it came to capturing the dragon, they were willing to go all out and didn’t plan to hold back at all.

The death cultivator nodded and said, “I will keep the pressure up, but you have to pay me for the amount of lifespan I’ve already spent before we continue.”

This made Force Exchange chuckle and say, “Do you think we will cheat you? If so, there is no need to worry about that since we already have a contract.”

The death cultivator refused to budge and replied, saying, “Just pay.”

Forced Exchange could only grumble about the lack of credibility, but he proceeded to pay for half of the cost. The warriors paid the other half.

After working together to pay the death cultivator, both sides returned to arguing with each other. They did this until Monarch Eye Tracker was able to sort out all of the conflicting traces in the area and single out the traces of the dragon.

After finding the trial of the dragon, the group went on the move again. This was good as it meant that they were closer to the dragon now. But they noticed something odd along the way, which was that they were now going back the way they had come.

This made them think of a possibility that they thought was absurd. They couldn’t believe this possibility, so they asked Monarch Eye Tracker if he was sure that he had the right trail.

Monarch Eye Tracker said that he was sure. So, no matter how they didn’t want to believe that the dragon was returning to the Blessed Heaven World, they had to believe it. This made them choose to speed up in order to catch up to the dragon as soon as possible and prevent others from taking the dragon before they catch up.

The dragon they were pursuing had indeed returned to the Blessed Heaven World. Not only did he return, but he also brought a gift for the world.

He reached the Blessed Heaven World, crossed the first world barrier, and then crossed the second world barrier to enter the central domain. Then he took out the gift he brought.

The gift he brought drew the attention of the world to turn to him. As soon as he took out the world heart, a golden pillar of light appeared above him.

The golden pillar of light represented the attention of the world. The golden pillar was also pulling the heart of the world that he had taken out into the sky.

Even though the attention of the world was on him, Loki got the feeling that the world only cared for the gift he brought and would take it regardless of his intention to give it or not.

This made him chuckle and say, “So the world will rob any heart that it sees. I guess the fact that it is not picky is a good thing for those who want to become divine beings but don’t have an available Divine Position to take them.”

The heart of the world was a large, multicolored rock. It was spherical like a football, but it was more than a kilometer across. This made the heart of the world bigger than the stadiums where football was played on Earth in his past life.

He was thinking about this as he saw the large multicolored rock rise into the air. He saw the heart of the world enter the third dimension and approach the constellation of stars in the sky.

The heart of the world approached the section of the divine constellation where stars surrounded a much larger star. This much larger star was a Supreme Metac while the smaller stars were the Divine Positions in the pathway.

Since the Divine Metac attached to the heart of the world belonged to the Forging Pathway, this section of the divine constellation must belong to the Forging Pathway. This helped him determine that the Supreme Metac that formed the core of this part of the constellation was the one that had been raising his Dao Status.

As he watched, he saw that there were 22 stars arranged around the Supreme Metac in various ways. This made him say to himself, ’So there are 22 Divine Positions in the forging Pathway. I wonder how many divine beings own these 22 Divine Positions. No matter how many there are, I will be one of them soon.’
